    Serenite offers fine dining in a casual atmosphere. The food was delicious. Our server was nervous but that is to be expected. Serenite serves the community by training people who have struggled with addictions. This was our second meal there and it was a delight to be able to see latest server learn and grow. I hope his experience with us was as great as ours was with him.

    This is the 3rd or 4th time we've visited. And it was another phenomenal evening! We brought another couple with us for their first time and they were equally impressed! ALL of the staff was very attentive. Maybe it's because our table of 4 was pretty much the only table in there for almost the entire evening. But still, a very pleasant experience and all the food & drink was superb! We had a bit of everything... a table full of apps, variety of wines and mixed drinks, main courses, and desserts. Our total time there was probably just around 2.5 hours.

    Everything my table ordered was great; steak, chicken, mac n cheese, peas, EXCEPT my gnocchi. The gnocchi just does not make sense, its is well made but looks like fried larva with its coloring. The components of the dish also don’t make sense. A vegan gnocchi with fresh sage, garlic, and olive oil. Or fresh tomatoes, garlic, basil, its just weird to do a coconut milk base with gnocchi.

    Second time here in a week! Everything was delicious! The mussels, local mixed greens salad, filet mignon and especially the scallops....amazing!! My husband loves the frog legs, I'm celiac so couldn't try those. Not to mention the bananas foster, creme brulee and chocolate duo. I feel like you can't go wrong with anything you order. The staff is awesome as well! The best part is the story behind the restaurant, doing great things here. They are very knowledgeable on food allergies as well. Our new favorite restaurant!

Any occasion becomes a special one with the pampering of the attentive staff exhibiting fine dining service with beautifully presented cuisine. A hidden gem minutes from historic Medina Square!

    Staff/Service was excellent from start to finish. Very attentive to our table's needs. Other members of staff weren't afraid to refill drinks or grab plates either when our server was busy with other customers. Food was top-notch and excellent value, arriving at our table in a very timely manner. One of the best places in Northeast Ohio for some fine French fare.

    I am a garlic snob so take this for what it is. The garlic used in my dish was either old or the “jar” variety. A bit disappointing but I LOVE what their mission is all about. The food was good. Will frequent them again, to make sure it was maybe a one time thing

    Excellent from start to finish!! Amazing service with such delicious food. The restaurant was very accommodating when we called a day before to increase our party to 5, even though it was a busy Saturday evening. Our server, Scott, was so courteous and professional as were everyone that we encountered. Drinks, apps, entrees and desserts were so yummy and everyone enjoyed them. I would have loved to meet the chef but, unfortunately, he did not come by our table. All in all a great evening out at a restaurant that I very highly recommend and look forward to returning to!

Always consistent with the warm welcoming of the guests as well as the politeness of all the staff. Highly recommended!! Can’t wait to try the patio during the summer.

    We were provided a private candlelit corner table for our anniversary and given complimentary champagne, thank you! There were several specials & other yummy choices on the menu we wanted to try but we decided to keep it focused on selections chosen prior to arrival. Drinks: a Manhattan with markers mark for me & a glass of house Cabernet for my wife. The Manhattan was topped with a Luxardo cherry … wow … perfect! I will use those from now on at home! We shared a charcuterie board to start! A very large portion for two with an amazing assortment of gourmet cheeses and meats. It was customized to our palates based on several questions. Best assortment we have ever experienced, WELL DONE! Next were the Mussels and they did not disappoint! These shellfish were perfectly cooked in a delicious butter white wine sauce. We stuck with the restaurant’s French theme & tested the French Onion! Loved the preparation, the port was very light with allowed the onions & guyere cheese to reign! Delicious! We did not partake in an entree or desert since we were full & pressed for time for another event that evening. Our meal extended over a 2 hour period which was dictated by us without issue. Our waitress, Sherrie, was fun and extremely attentive making sure our evening was perfect! A bit expensive but the food was great. Looking forward to another meal in the near future!

    I'll be honest, French cuisine is not my thing... but that said there are plenty delicious options on the menu. The wait staff is attentive and patient. We never felt rushed. The head chef/owner made his rounds to check on all his patrons and inquire about the meals and overall dining experience and was very open to feedback. It was a very personable experience.

    We have been to enough restaurants to know they change up the menu on New Years Eve but to only have 8 entrees to choose from and none cheaper then $50 bucks a plate was disappointing. Be a while before I go back.

    We loved everything about our experience. Vic, our server, was most attentive, as was his trainee. Our meals were yummy. My Coquille St. Jacques had such beautifully blended flavors and was the perfect size for a light lunch. We had asked friends from Dayton, who were visiting the area to join us there and they were quite impressed. Though we ourselves live 30+ miles away, we will certainly be back. We came to support the mission of this institute. Now we want to return to enjoy some of the evening offerings.
